Connection in Business, Business in Connection

Reflection can help turn a connection on, often revealing truth or opportunity. Reaction can turn a connection off, inviting conflict to take centre stage, demanding right, wrong, or absolutes. With the UAE and RIM at a standoff over Blackberry Services, is there an opportunity to stop, look, listen and connect to allow a collaborative solution to emerge? Could this lead to new ideas and approaches that would satisfy both priorities and allow a new approach to 'become'? What can be lost or gained in this business conflict? Why do some fear collaboration? When we inflict upon others, do we inflict upon ourselves?
